Construction / Operating Parameters
Dynamic discharge is the total fluid outflow at the rupture before the pipeline is shut down and the line segment containing the rupture is operationally isolated During this period, the pipeline flow rate could be much higher than its normal operating flow rate depending on the relative location of the rupture to the adjacent pumping stations This transient flow rate, however, cannot exceed the maximum capacity of pump units upstream of the rupture due to the limitation of horsepower installed and to the characteristic of turbo machinery Based on these parameters, an estimate of the dynamic discharge can be made by assuming the maximum capacity of the pumps being operated prior to the rupture, as the discharge flow rate for the period between rupture occurrence and pipeline shutdown
Static drain discharge is considered to be the total fluid outflow at the rupture location due to the difference
of elevations between the rupture and other high points on the pipeline except that isolated by either elevation or remote-controlled valves The fluid momentum and the siphoning effect, for practical purposes, can be ignored
The WCD for pipeline segments can be expressed as:
Vt = Vd +ΣVsWhere:
Vt = total WCD volume, in barrels
Vd = dynamic discharge volume, in barrels
Vs = static discharge volume, comprised of the gravity drain from both upstream and downstream segments based on the elevation profile, in barrels

Trang 17Assumptions:
Scenario is a guillotine rupture (100% volume - out);
Following a line rupture, the pipeline segment that contains the rupture will be remotely shut down and isolated within three (3) minutes;
For the dynamic discharge calculation, the discharge flow rate will be the flow rate that the immediate upstream pump station is capable of; and
Except for the installed check valves and remotely controlled block valves, no further segment isolation is assumed by closing the manual isolation valves
The dynamic discharge component (Vd) is determined by multiplying the timeframe to operationally isolate the line segment by the design throughput:
Vd =
The static/gravity discharge component (Vs) is the gravity drain volume from both upstream and downstream segments based on the elevation profile in the Pipeline Simulation Software The volume excludes that which is isolated by either elevation or remote-controlled valves
HISTORICAL DISCHARGE COMPARISON
A review of historical releases from the Colonial system shows that the largest release volume in the Southeast Response Zone was 22,800 bbl which does not exceed either of the WCD estimates for the tankage or pipeline scenarios

WORST CASE DISCHARGE – SCENARIO
A Worst Case Discharge Response Scenario
Scenario Development
A worst-case discharge scenario involving breakout
for its proximity to an area where drainage away from the facility’s retention lakes is possible
is surrounded by an earthen secondary containment dike common to one other tank This dike has an average depth of twelve feet (12 ft.) and has more than sufficient capacity to contain the entire contents
of the tank
This scenario assumes a brittle fracture type failure similar to the Ashland Oil spill at Florette, PA on January 2, 1988 Statistics from the Ashland incident indicate that approximately 18% of the total volume spilled escaped secondary containment into the Monongahela River For planning purposes and this scenario, it is assumed that f distillate product (fuel oil or kerosene) will breach the dike and escape the secondary containment around
The has a series of catch basins, pipes, and ditches designed to divert watershed runoff and spills to the lakes The facility features two lakes in a valley between the two breakout tank clusters The lakes are designed with underflow outlets Product flowing into the lakes will float on the surface of the water and will have to accumulate to a height of more than 24” above high water mark before it will overflow across the dike and escape these containments
It is assumed that the spilled volume that escapes from the tank dike would initially flow overland in a westerly direction, bypass the on-site lake, and enter a small stream at the lake effluent that flows to the south
Time of Year/Weather
This scenario takes place in the month of January This month is chosen because it is when the ambient temperatures occur most frequently which are likely to allow a brittle fracture to occur The scenario begins at dusk

Trang 19Scenario weather calls for a wet weather (steady rain) with temperatures in the mid-30’s The rain will facilitate the down gradient movement of the product
Topography, Drainage, and Resources at Risk
Topography: The topography of the area in the tank farm is graded generally flat within the breakout tanks containment area is located at the southern-most point of Colonial’s storage facility The area proximate to the tank in question is bordered by Colonial’s property to the west and
to the south The area between the tank farm and is part of Colonial’s facility and is wooded, with heavy underbrush, undeveloped land The areas south of
have several industrial developments, community parks, and some residential areas Land is relatively level bisected by a wooded stream valley that is 20 to 30 feet lower than the adjacent developed areas
Drainage: For the purpose of this exercise, it is assumed that product would splash over the containment dike towards the west, flow overland in a down gradient, westerly direction for approximately 20 miles and then continue in a southerly direction for 20 miles, leaving Colonial’s property via a small, slow flowing stream that crosses under This stream is a tributary of
The released product will continue in a southerly flow within the creek for 60 miles to the crossing
of At this crossing, the advance of the product will be hindered by two man-made lakes that block the stream channel at both sides of The southern-most lake is 25 miles upstream of the confluence with After the confluence with
the drainage basin continues for approximately 1.1 miles to the crossing of From this point, continues in a southerly direction for approximately 1.3 miles to
residential developments to the east The northern-most point of is approximately 4.0 miles down gradient of
For purposes of this exercise, it is assumed that the balance of the product that does not escape Colonial’s facility will be collected by the tank dikes, catch basins, and drainage pipes and retained within the tank farm
Resources At Risk: Public and response worker safety would be the top priority concern for any spill scenario Colonial would quickly establish communications with the appropriate local emergency responders in the area of the tank farm The purpose of this communication would be to coordinate Colonial’s response to this specific incident with these agencies to best utilize available resources to protect the general public as the spill event progresses Specific actions will be discussed further under
“countermeasures” below
After leaving Colonial’s property and crossing under , the tributary of
r continues in a southerly direction through industrially-developed areas for 2.25 miles to the
the areas to the
and Golf Course, and residential developments to the east

WORST CASE DISCHARGE – SCENARIO
Page 3 of 12
There are no historical landmarks immediately threatened by this scenario
B Initial Incident Command Issues and Organization
The local Operations Manager would act as the Colonial OSC (On-Scene Commander) until relieved by either the Director of Operations or the Corporate Response Team Federal, state, and local agencies would assist and provide input to the spill effort Information that could be provided would include locations of rare and endangered species, historic sites, drinking water and industrial water intakes, and other environmentally sensitive areas Unless otherwise indicated by the Federal OSC, Colonial would follow the Colonial ICS for and the Southeast District In addition to personnel responding from the Southeast District, personnel would be immediately mobilized from throughout the Colonial system
Upon arrival onsite, Colonial would also work closely with officials from the EPA Region IV and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) As a first course of action, a joint review of Colonial’s response maps will re-identify natural resources, industrial, and residential developments threatened by the spill and which countermeasures would prove most effective in protecting these resources This activity includes protection, if possible, of endangered species, wildlife areas, and public recreation areas The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service office can provide information regarding known endangered species in the vicinity
For a tank failure occurring as described above, it would be clear from the outset that a prompt response from the entire area emergency response team would be appropriate Response personnel from the Gulf Coast District, the Northeast District, and the Atlanta Response Team would be mobilized This would result in an initial compliment of approximately 30-40 Colonial personnel onsite within the first five hours
of the response with an additional 5-10 support personnel mobilized from the Corporate Headquarters This compliment would be fully qualified to fulfill the various functions identified in the incident Command System in Section 4 of this Manual Colonial would also make back up and relief personnel available from other districts for a spill of this magnitude Colonial contracted OSRO’s would be mobilized as necessary
Issues Confronting Local IC:
Lack of precise volumes released from tank, volumes retained within dikes, and retention pond
(b) (3), (b) (7)(F)
(b) (3), (b) (7)(F)
(b) (3), (b) (7)(F)
Trang 21Strategies
Decisions that must be made are:
Evaluate the actions that have been taken within an ICS structure and ensure that all work is completed
in a safe manner considering fire and explosion hazards associated with fuel oil and the current weather conditions
Determine Colonial resource needs and availability within the Southeast District, the adjacent Gulf Coast and Northeast Districts, and Atlanta office personnel Mobilize these resources in a timely manner to fulfill the 12 and 24 hour planning cycles
Locate additional areas for containment/recovering and protection besides those noted on Colonial response maps (SLD-1-11 and SLD-1-7)
Determine the number of additional spill response personnel needed for oversight, cleanup, containment, and countermeasures
Determine how much equipment will be necessary for containment, countermeasures, and cleanup actions
Decide who will provide the additional equipment
Prioritize response efforts for environmentally sensitive areas
Contractors
As part of the initial Notification Procedure, key area contractors would be notified within the first hour of the response For the given scenario a number of spill response contractors and tanker truck contractors would be mobilized and asked to send trained personnel and equipment to the closest staging location
in anticipation of a spill clean-up operation Using the “35-mph” rule for response contractors and allowing
an additional hour for equipment loading, it is estimated that most these resources would arrive within two to six hours of discovery
The following Oil Spill Response Contractors and other responders would be mobilized (response time): Marine Spill Response Corp (MSRC) – multiple locations (2 - 12 hrs.)
Hepaco, Inc – Raleigh, NC (3 hrs.)
Clean Harbors Environmental – North Carolina (3 hrs.)
The following Preventative Maintenance Contractors would be mobilized to assist in response and recovery efforts and pipeline repair:
ED Wallace Construction – Charlotte NC (3.5 hrs.)
Central Virginia Maintenance – Buckingham, VA (4 hrs.)
L.E Bell Construction – Heflin, AL (11 hrs)
This action could provide at least 200 HAZWOPER trained personnel as labor for the response operation,
as well as boom, skimmers, earth moving equipment, pipeline repair equipment, and other appropriate

NC State Police and Local Fire Department
North Carolina Emergency Response Commission
Guilford County Local Emergency Planning Committee
As the response progressed and additional information as to the specific location of the emergency was discovered and/or reporting requirements were met, the following agencies would be directly contacted: U.S Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Subsequent communications between specific Colonial response team members and these agencies would flow freely on an individual basis as is necessary
D Isolation
The affected tank would be isolated by Colonial’s operations personnel by closing the manifold valve to
after residual product remaining in the tank has been transferred to another tank This action would minimize the volume of additional product that could be released into the environment This action would isolate the tank and residual product to the greatest extent possible
An immediate assessment will be conducted to determine if an explosive atmosphere exists within the facility The spill site location is a considerable distance away from occupied buildings and the access road for In addition, the direction of spill travel is away from the facility and distillate products have a relatively high flash point of ignition Therefore, for the purpose of this scenario, it is assumed that the entrance road to the facility will remain open, and it would be unlikely that evacuation
of the facility would be necessary
Upon arrival at the area affected by the release, the first action by Colonial’s Emergency Response Team (employees and contractors) would be to assess the magnitude of the emergency in order to prioritize subsequent response actions and allocate available resources accordingly
Colonial employees or contractors would immediately begin monitoring explosive and oxygen concentrations in the atmosphere upwind and close to the spill site (if possible considering worker safety)
to establish appropriate hazard zones in accordance with OSHA regulations As the leading edge of the spill progressed away from the initial site towards the tributary of , further air monitoring would be required at all points where there would be a potential for public contact with the spill Access to these areas would be controlled accordingly

Trang 23Spread of the spill off Colonial property would be towards the south into the tributary of
It is reasonable to assume that a significant portion of the spilled volume would not escape secondary containment and that a significant volume would be contained within the tank dike Due to the nature of the tank failure, and for the purposes of this exercise, it is assumed that a significant amount
of product ( would actually spill into this tributary It is very difficult to accurately estimate what quantities of product would escape containment and flow away from the facility
It is difficult to estimate the amount or speed at which the released product would migrate downstream
tributary, upstream of the confluence, would retain a significant amount of the product and would facilitate the deployment of equipment and containment activities
For purposes of this scenario, it is assumed that the leading edge of the spill would reach
(.4 miles down gradient of the tank) within five minutes of the release
The creek is a small, low gradient waterway with an estimated average channel velocity of approximately one mile per hour or less Due to the volume of the released product and the size of the stream, it is assumed that the initial velocity of product within the stream would be much higher than one mile per hour The following landmarks have been identified downstream of the release entry point:
A large volume of product was pooled on the ground inside the dike for
A significant volume of fuel oil has migrated into the adjacent dike to the north
A large amount of fuel oil has escaped the dike area and flowed overland into the small stream at a point downstream of the lake The leading edge of the released product has left the facility and reached the
An initial high priority activity would be to discuss with local emergency response agencies the need for immediate closing of
and the potential for evacuation of businesses and residents downstream to Colonial
Trang 24Colonial Pipeline Company
WORST CASE DISCHARGE – SCENARIO
Because the purpose of this exercise is to discuss a scenario where a large volume spill occurs, and a fire event would reduce the total volume of spilled product, it is assumed for the purposes of this discussion that no accidental ignition of the spill occurs
Concurrent with actions to ensure the immediate safety of the general public, efforts would begin to stem the spread of the release and to minimize the release volume Response resources would be positioned and deployed at previously identified containment and recovery points In addition, reconnaissance personnel would locate additional containment and recovery points based upon actual conditions and communicate these locations to Planning
Containment/Recovery sites would be established at the lake downstream of at the
In conjunction with these activities, Colonial emergency responders would begin monitoring hazardous atmosphere levels (particularly explosive atmosphere) at the spill site to establish an appropriate hazard zone Air monitoring would be required at all points where public contact with the spill was likely and where deployment of resources would be necessary Access to these areas would be controlled accordingly
F Containment and Collection
Several factors would hamper efforts to collect and contain released product during the early stages of this release The combined effects of continuing rain, darkness, and higher flow conditions in the creek would make spill reconnaissance, assessment of suitable collection points, and deployment of equipment hazardous and difficult Further, historical cases of pipeline releases under similar conditions has shown that: 1) as the release travels downstream, the product tends to become agitated by the floodwaters to the point where it is indistinguishable from floodwaters heavy with sediments, and 2) the deployment of boom across even a moderate-sized stream during flood conditions is often only marginally effective in trapping product due to splash-over and underflow caused by swift currents Spill barges and deployment boats would possibly be used for recovery efforts in the
Product will enter the tributary of along the east bank and immediately be transported downstream towards This area is part of Colonial’s property
and the two culverts under it will help impede the flow of the product The product will cross the road and continue through the heavily vegetated channel and will enter the man-made lake north of
The lakes at both sides of this crossing are accessible Since the flow at this point
is slower, shore-to-shore boom placement, the blocking of the spillways, and product containment activities can be conducted without the need to improve equipment access to these areas
Harbor boom would be deployed in this area Deployment would be accomplished by utilizing small watercraft and shoreline personnel Maintenance and adjustments will be conducted as necessary Skimmers would also be utilized at this location along with direct recovery vacuum equipment and
Trang 25pumping equipment
Frac tanks would be set up to serve as oil water separators The tanks could be used to provide “float time collection” prior to a sufficient number of tanker trucks arriving and during the ongoing shuttling of tankers throughout the first 90% of recovery efforts Additionally, these tanks could be used to maximize recovery efforts in the first few hours by the use of high-volume non-specific recovery pumps The tanks will allow large volumes of water to be removed from recovered oil common to the use of these non-specific pumps
Approximately 25 miles downstream of the second man-made lake south of , is the
downstream to the head of the stream is narrow and the flow velocity is estimated at one mile per hour or less
facilitate the establishment of a containment/recovery site utilizing multiple strands of boom deployed across the creek, skimmers, vacuum recovery, pumping equipment, and frac tanks for temporary storage The site is accessible to tanker trucks which would be employed to transport recovered product from the frac tanks back to storage at
Downstream on , skimming barges with product recovery storage capacity would be used
to recover product that escapes the containment booming at the
An additional containment/recovery site would be established at the bridge crossing of
Truck access appears reasonable and is assumed to be readily useable both from deployment and recovery efforts with no immediate improvements required Multiple strands
of boom would be deployed upstream and downstream of the bridge Frac tanks, skimmers, vacuum recovery, and pumping equipment would also be deployed at the site
As containment actions are being implemented, it will become necessary to evaluate on-going logistics for maintaining control of the plume, sustaining recovery actions underway, and implementing contingency measures to limit future exposure or release
Maintaining control of a plume involves careful consideration of oil collection rates and determining if such collection rates are exceeding recovery rates Adjustments in increasing recovery equipment is the first priority However, it is possible that timeline projections may prove that additional deployment of equipment would need to take place
Sustaining recovery actions involves having a place to store recovered oil in a location or locations of sufficient volume to keep up with recovery would have adequate capacity for this operation In addition, temporary storage tanks (frac) could be mobilized as required
Also important to sustaining recovery is personnel rotation and adequate lighting Generally, 30% of the work force should be sent back after the first six hours in order to preserve recovery rates on a 24 hour basis No more than 16 hours should be worked by any member of the Response Team This is especially important for the managers who are involved in logistics and coordinating response activities Adequate turn over meetings and supervisory overlap times are critical in maintaining recovery rates Contingency measures include installing shoreline protection boom to prevent the accumulation of oil in inaccessible areas and to mitigate the spread of further contamination in low-lying areas which pose

difficulties for the implementation of recovery efforts All water intakes for commercial and industrial use should also have boom protection Marinas, docks, landings, etc., all represent a significant secondary risk to increasing cleanup effort and should be protected
Extensive efforts would be made to identify several locations where the release could be contained and collected, using the available resources identified above Due to the health hazards associated with distillate products, containment efforts would initially be focused at downstream locations prior to the arrival of the leading edge of the product
Information should continue to be gathered throughout the incident for operational purposes This information would be utilized in developing the 12 and 24 hour plans Some of this information might include:
Status of countermeasures completed by Colonial’s OSROs and support personnel
Amount of cleanup and containment equipment on scene
Amount of additional equipment needed and where it will be obtained
Prioritize environmentally sensitive areas for protective measures
Safety
Volume of product recovered at each collection point
Potential NRDA impacts/data needs
Problems that could be encountered include:
Unsafe working conditions due to hydrocarbon hazards and weather conditions
Contractor and Agency access to the facility, recovery points, and areas along the watercourses
Cleanup operations should involve all local, state, and federal agencies, the State and Federal Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and technical expertise should be solicited from USCG Strike Team
Methods of containment, countermeasures, and cleanup:
Mobilize personnel, vacuum trucks, frac tanks, skimmers, booms, boats, absorbents, temporary storage,
Trang 27light towers, aircraft/surface surveillance, and debris disposal
areas for containment and recovery
Deploy boom to protect critical areas and recovery equipment as per reconnaissance input
Establish unified incident command center at
Safely recover and contain fuel oil at collection and recovery points recognizing health and other safety hazards
Clean stream and riverbanks as necessary/appropriate
Coordinate disposal and monitor sites
Collection of oil-laden debris
The following represents an approximate list of Colonial and response contactor personnel and equipment that could be employed on this spill:
HAZWOPER trained supervisory and technician level personnel
Vacuum trucks
Containment booms
Boom deployment boats
Miscellaneous air monitoring equipment, e.g., OVMs, OVA, CGIs, etc
Absorbent booms, pads, and sweep as needed
Tanker trucks
Barge-mounted modular skimmers
Drum, weir, and other light oil style skimmers

Gulf Coast District (Response Zone 801) including tanker trucks, USCG-approved OSROs and contract personnel: 24 hours
NCDENR response team: 3 hours
USCG Strike Team: 6 hours
In summary, sufficient contracted USCG-approved OSROs and trained Colonial response personnel for
a sustained response will arrive on site within the required tiered response times
Potential Shortfalls

Group Notification System
Personnel with emergency response roles are activated using a group notification system The following two Group Notifications are used:
Group 4: Notifies Spill Management Team and other key personnel for significant spills/emergencies Group 8: Notifies District personnel with emergency response responsibilities
The groups are initially notified using a simultaneous combination of:
Text messaging to cell phones
Emails to PCs
Phone calls to cell phones and office phones
Messaging to the MIR3 phone application
Group 4 notifications are issued by the Control Center (at least initially) Group 8 notifications are normally originated by district personnel Initial group notifications may be short in content due to limited information being available at the time They primarily serve as an alert Follow-up group notifications should be made within an hour of the first alert to provide additional direction or the possibility of a stand-down
Group 4 and Group 8 responders are to follow the instructions contained in the text message
Responders with designated ICS positions are to connect with their section or unit leader for specific instructions on where and when to report Section and unit leaders will assemble their staffs

ALTERNATE NOTIFICATION METHOD FOR GROUP NOTIFICATIONS
In the event the MIR3 notification platform is unavailable for sending the Group Notification(s) as stated above, notification will be made by using the ICS phone tree This phone tree follows the ICS structure outlined in Section 4.02
The process of beginning this type of notification begins with the Incident Commander contacting the Documentation Unit Leader The Documentation Unit Leader will then contact each identified Section Chief The Documentation Unit Leader will confirm with the Incident Commander that all Section Chiefs have been notified
After each Section Chief is contacted by the Documentation Unit Leader, it is the responsibility of the Section Chief to initiate the notification process in their line of command by contacting the first individual listed in their line of command on the ICS The last individual in the line of command will contact their section chief to notify them the line of communication has been completed
NOTE: If at any time during the notification process, an individual is unreachable, the person attempting
to make contact, should skip this individual and contact the next individual in the IC structure in order to continue the notification process The person who is responsible for contacting the unreachable individual should continue to make contact until successful or contact the Section Chief for guidance as
to continue attempting notification or select another individual to fill the role
If the Spill Management Team is to be notified, the Incident Commander will contact the CCOM on duty The CCOM will coordinate contacting each Spill Management Team Member individually
Communication via the phone tree can be made by either text messaging or calling each individual If text message is the chosen means for the notification, the recipient of the text notification shall confirm receipt of the text message to the sender (Please note that if text messaging is chosen, text messages are limited to 100 characters and it may take several text messages to communicate the required information)
It is the responsibility of the individuals identified in the IC structure to maintain current contact information for the individual(s) they are responsible for contacting
